Keep statistics proportional to your purpose

Fastly's statistics summarize a small set of recorded fields.

Read the metric definition

Fastly's statistics summarize a small set of recorded fields. They can help you find sessions and understand your recording habits, but they need not become targets in their own right.

Inspect the contributing records

Choose the views that answer your practical questions and leave the rest alone when they are not useful. A shorter review can be enough to spot a mistaken end time or find a note.

The chart's compact hour labels are rounded, while individual records retain hours-and-minutes displays. A summary is a view of stored timing data, not a measurement of nutrition, mood, or medical outcomes.

Check the relevant distinction

If a summary makes the log feel like a competition, return to individual records and context. Different goals, gaps, and archived sessions make broad rankings misleading anyway.

Interpret within the data limits

The meaning of a day is not contained in its chart height or marker. Keep the tool's role limited to the information you chose to record.

Fastly is a lifestyle timer and journal. These notes explain the app and offer reflection prompts. They are not medical advice or a prescribed eating schedule.
